JFC, some of the pics/ads in Classifieds....

[HodgePig]

For the love of sweet baby Aslan, What's with some of the pictures and content on some of the ads in Classifieds?!?

Scenario 1: Low Detail/High price
Seller wants top dollar for an allegedly "mint, never skirmished" gun.
Follows singular pic of (usually dark coloured) RIF in poor lighting showing zero detail of condition/wear, and about seven words providing pretty much no detail at all.

Scenario 2: Ozzy rules.
Picture/s all fekkin upside down or sideways

Scenario 3: The Holy trifecta
Top price, lowest detail, single pic taken in the dark on a Motorola Razr flip phone from about 2004.

Yes, I'm newish to the forum.
No, I have no evidence of doing any better myself, yet.
Yes, I have the ability to tilt my head/device.
And also yes, I do know I could ask for more or better pics and to include more detail.

I'm sure FB Marketplace has ruined Sales etiquette. Whenever I sell gear, things, stuff I always want to show it in its best state and offer up everything I'd be waiting to know if I was the potential buyer.

Maybe I'm just too old/neuro atypical

End of rant. Thanks for the space to vent

mate, you'd be surprised. im a motorcycle sales exec and the state in which people bring their bikes in for us to buy and appraise is genuinely crazy. 0 etiquette.

Just to note that the sideways/upside pictures is a bug with how the forum processes images, some people try to fix it by rotating etc but some cba lol

Or no time stamps, "fully upgraded" and no mention of parts or brands... Sometimes I wonder if they purposely upload with no details just to have human connection for a few minutes
